Oreo Mousse Cake Recipe

4.6 from 108 reviews

This Oreo Mousse Cake is a decadent no-bake dessert combining a crunchy Oreo cookie crust with a rich, chocolate mousse filling topped with whipped cream and more crushed Oreos. It’s perfect for chocolate and cookie lovers looking for an elegant yet easy-to-make treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 14.3 oz Oreo Cookies, crushed (1 standard package, not double stuffed)
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted

Mousse

  • 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup confectioner’s sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the crushed Oreos and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until the crumbs are fully moistened by the butter for a consistent texture.
  2. Press crust into pan: Press the Oreo and butter mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined 9-inch springform pan to create an even base. Place the pan in the freezer to chill until ready to add the mousse filling.
  3. Melt chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second bursts, stirring well after each, until fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly but do not let it harden.
  4. Whip cream: Using a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream and confectioner’s sugar on medium speed until stiff peaks form. For best results, ensure the mixing bowl is chilled before whipping.
  5. Combine chocolate and cream: Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the slightly cooled melted chocolate, carefully mixing until just combined to keep the mousse light and airy.
  6. Assemble mousse layer: Pour the chocolate mousse mixture over the chilled Oreo crust in the springform pan. Spread evenly to the edges to form a smooth, uniform layer.
  7. Add whipped topping: Spread the remaining whipped cream evenly over the chocolate mousse layer to create a creamy topping.
  8. Garnish: Sprinkle additional crushed Oreo pieces over the top of the whipped cream for extra texture and visual appeal.
  9. Chill to set: Cover the cake loosely with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for approximately 4 hours, or until the mousse is firm and set for clean slicing.

Notes

  • For best whipping results, chill the mixing bowl and whisk attachment ahead of time.
  • Use regular Oreos, not double stuffed, for ideal crust texture.
  • The cake must be refrigerated to set properly; avoid freezing after assembly.
  • Can be garnished with additional chocolate shavings or fresh berries for variation.
  • Springform pan lining with parchment paper makes removal easier and cleaner.
